Sofija Rotaru. Jedynomu... (To the one...)

Sofia Rotaru devoted this album to her husband – Anatoliy Yevdokymenko. I guess we must also thank him, as it is still a question: would so many people love Sofia Rotaru if it were not for his inspired work and his life itself? Though, of course, I do not disclaim obvious things – precious talent of this woman. There still exist legends about her industry and devotion to her work. Possibly, not unfounded. You will have the chance to hear by yourself that Sofia Rotaru’s voice has not lost its lustre, strength and expressiveness within all these years. It is well known that a good cognac has to brew for years. This disk is a devotion and it is only natural that old and well-known songs are included into it, but these songs were a bit renewed from musical point of view. I think, it is pleasant to recognize old friends. Still pay your attention to the song "Odnа kаlynа" ("One snowball tree") – it is the song which Sofia Rotaru bombards Ukrainian radio and hit parades with long enough.

"...I'm sure that performance of the song and its understanding, and hence the ability to convey it to the audience, always go hand by hand. Today I sing with my heart and soul, and I believe that now I have the right to perform Ukrainian songs for my people, in my free homeland."

"Patterns of stories, patterns of emotions, patterns of times and path... As well as everything is intertwined in life – so everything is intertwined in this album. I hope that you will like this little trip back into the past!" Yours, Russya

There is no chronological principle here – the collection comprises songs both from the first albums by the singer, and from the most recent one. And this is right in its own way – with this compiling method the listener does not track the artist's development in time but perceives the mosaic as an integral picture. Well – the mosaics appear varied, colorful.

There are quite a lot of albums in the discography, even more – of the songs that have become very popular. Therefore, no wonder that the collection consists of two discs – and now you see the first of them.

Light melodies, rhythms – at some instant it may even appear that these are not arrangements but primary versions. The general sounding is soft and quiet, there is no haste. You listen – and willy-nilly light nostalgia for those times when it was possible to hurry so leisurely arise...

Honestly speaking, it is even strange how she succeeded in combining so quietly, without tension these different things – but she did succeed in that, no doubt. Moreover, all that together generates some new sensations – ambiguous but interesting. In any case, it seems that this disc is really able to make fans of Ukrainian variety art happy – because, evidently, nobody has yet introduced it in this form.

And, in any case, such coexistence virtually always negatively influences the creative part of qualities – it is much more difficult to undermine business qualities. Maybe, for this reason it is only now that Oksana Bilozir has been able to not only produce a second release of her previous works, but also to record two new discs at once.

Lyudmyla Yermakova, obviously, has nothing to complain about – she has not only achieved success and recognition, but she keeps writing and singing. A lot of her songs have appeared, so to say, in the treasury of Ukrainian variety art. You will hear the songs that are the reflection of all the mentioned talents: here, she is both the composer and the poetess, and in a few cases – the performer as well.
